Updated on October 7th, at 12:26: We've given this guide a bit of a spring clean to bring us up to date with the Rebels level pack.

So we've added videos for all 12 bird side and all 12 pork side levels in that update. Plus, all the levels for the Master Your Destiny special update.

We've also added more collectible items and more reward chapter videos. Check it out!

The idea behind Angry Birds Star Wars II is a simple one.

You get to catapult birds at the ramshackle structures of pigs, while reliving the painful memories of the Star Wars prequels.

But, hey, you get to fire Jar Jar Binks into a brick wall as many times as you like. Plus, this is a cracking addition to the Angry Birds universe. There are loads of new power-ups, and levels in space and on the ground.

The game can get tricky, though. With more than 30 characters to play as, hundreds of levels to finish, armfuls of collectible junk to find, and loads of achievements to unlock, you're gonna need a good guide.

That's where we come in. Read on, Youngling.

You must know how to play Angry Birds by now. But for those few cave dwellers, Amazonian tribespeople, and time travellers who are out of the loop, let me break it down for you.

In each level, you fire birds from a slingshot in the hope of hitting and popping all the pigs. Unless you're playing a Pork Side level, that is, in which case the roles are reversed.

Scoring is based on how many damage and destruction you caused in the level, and how few birds (or pigs) you had to expend to finish the stage. Getting a good score, and three star, means mixing carnage with precision.

Each bird is a different beast, and has its own powers based on the Star Wars character being re-imagined here. See our bird (and pig) guide below for more details.

Different materials are more susceptible to breaking than others. Wood and glass shatter easily, while metallic surfaces will take a fair few direct hits before they crumple.

Some levels are set in outer space. In the cold expanse of the universe, gravity has no effect and birds will float in a straight line forever. That is, unless you get stuck in a gravity well - these magnetic bubbles will attract birds, pigs, and materials towards their core.

You can swap your current bird line-up for new feathered friends (see the shop and Telepods section below for more info), but you will always be able to finish the current state with the default set of birds.

Stuck on a specific level? Can't get three stars on a tricky stage? We've collected videos for every stage in the game, in which you are shown the exact shots to make to earn those massive scores. Choose a chapter below to get started.

The champions ballad guide.

Bird Side - Pork Side

When you start a new chapter in Angry Birds Star Wars II, you'll be asked whether you want to play on the Bird Side or the Pork Side. This basically means that you'll only be able to play one set of levels until you unlock some stars.

Once you have 20 stars in a single chapter, you'll unlock the other side.

Each bird has its own ability - and you often need to tap the screen to unleash it. Here's what each feathered friend can do.

Qui-Gon JinnThis Jedi Knight packs a lightsaber. He will swing it to slash through pigs and parts of their structures when you tap the screen.

Obi-Wan KenobiJinn's sidekick has a classic force push, which lets him displace objects in front of him. Tap somewhere on the screen to aim your push.

YodaWhen you tap the screen, this little green dude will go into a crazy spinning attack and bounce off surfaces after he smashes them. Good if you can lodge him in a tight space.

Jar Jar BinksThis CGI space bunny may be one of the most reviled Star Wars characters ever, but his handy grappling hook - which lets him cover great distances, spin around to the back of structures, and pull building blocks away - makes him one of the coolest birds.

Anakin Episode IWhen young Anakin is in mid-air, tap somewhere on the screen and he'll ride a podracer engine to that location. Explodes on impact, to boot.

Captain PanakaThis guy fires six blaster bullets in two shots. Use him like a shotgun to get in close and destroy the foundations of a pig structure.

PadmeNatalie Portman can use a tractor beam to pick up a pile of blocks and shove them forward. Good for displacing entire structures and moving explosives into position.

Anakin Episode IIAnakin's all grown up, and now sports a lightsaber (and a questionable haircut). Works like Qui-Gon Jinn.

Jedi YounglingJust like you do with the classic Blue Bird of Angry Birds, you simply tap the screen to turn this one bird into three.

Mace WinduSam Jackson will lob a boomerang blade to the location that you tap. If it has a clean return trajectory, it will fly back to Windu, causing even more damage on the way back.

ChewbaccaChewie is like a wrecking ball. He doesn't do anything when tapped, but will make a ruddy great impact all the same.

R2-D2This faithful droid has an electric shock that will instantly pop any pigs in close proximity.

C-3POThis prissy robot will fall to pieces when you tap the screen. That's more useful than it sounds, as the shower of metallic bits will cause damage on impact.

Han SoloHan's got a classic blaster, which fires three powerful laser shots in quick succession.

LeiaPrincess Leia works like Padme - her tractor beam lets her latch onto a big pile of stuff - but she pulls blocks towards her, rather than pushing them away.

Pilot, Endor, and Jedi LukeYou can dress Luke Skywalker in whatever duds you want. He's still rocking a lightsaber that cuts through wood and pigs like they were semi-melted cheese.

In Angry Birds Star Wars II, you can play as pigs, too. Here are the twirly-tailed characters you'll play as during Pork Side levels, and their abilities.

Jango FettThis bounty hunter will fire an explosive missile at the location that you tap, but then fly off at an unpredictable angle. You might get two hits out of him, or he might fly off into the sunset, never to be seen again.

Darth SidiousPalpatine uses a thunderous electric blast that travels through metallic parts of the level. Very powerful attack.

Battle DroidWorks like Han Solo, and fires three blaster bullets in quick succession.

Darth MaulDarth's got a lightsaber, but his has two ends and whirls about like a helicopter blade, giving him slightly more powerful than the Bird Side blade wielders.

Count DookuDooku's boomerang blade works exactly the same as Mace Windu's. Except this one is red.

DroidekaThis crazy robot guy works exactly like Yoda, bouncing off walls and birds whenever he makes an impact.

Zam WesellZam has a grappling hook, making him the pig mirror image of Jar Jar Binks. Poor guy.

General GrievousAnother lightsaber user now. He's got four small ones, all of which spin like Maul's. A solid attacker.

Anakin Episode IIISpoiler alert! Anakin is on the Pork Side by Episode III. He now has a crazy attack that makes building blocks magnetically stick to his bird body and then get fired out at various angles.

Biker ScoutBiker Scout works like Anakin Episode I, and uses his bike to rocket towards any point on the map.

StormtrooperAnother blaster user now. This guy fires six shots at slightly different angles, making him useful when up close to enemy lines.

TIE Fighter PilotThis guy fires two blaster shots, and then another two blaster shots. Good going, guy.

Darth VaderDarth Vader, funnily enough, has the same power as Anakin Episode III. Tap the screen and building blocks magnetically stick to his body and are then fired out at various angles.

Boba FettLike Jango, Boba will fire an explosive missile at the location that you tap, but then fly off at an unpredictable angle. Only Boba will fire two missiles instead of one.

In every level of Angry Birds, you are given a default set of birds or pigs with which to play. With these guys, you will always be able to defeat the opposing force on that stage. New for Star Wars II, however, you can swap for different birds if you so desire.

You can buy access to those animals from the in-game shop. Pigs and birds cost tokens, which you unlock when you complete achievements. You can also buy them with in-app purchases.

You can buy a pack of player characters or buy permanent access to that Star Wars hero. If you buy a pack, you can use the character as many times as you like. If you buy infinite access, you can only use the character once per level.

Once you have some birds under your belt, click the 'Bird Side' or 'Pork Side' icon during a level to see all your feathered (or bacon-flavoured) friends. Then, click the character's face to swap the current character.

If you prefer more physical interaction, you'll want to buy some Telepods. Here's how to use them.

First, slot the bird or pig toy onto the Telepod podium. The little notch in the hero's bum should fit snugly onto the raised stump on the podium. Next, hit load a level in the game and click the 'Telepod' icon.

Now, put the podium over your device's camera. On the iOS version, you will see a white shape on the screen, and you should try to place the lumpy bit of the podium over that shape.

If all goes to plan, the bird or pig will appear in the level and replace the current character.

Remember that you can only use a Telepod bird once per level. And that you can only use birds in Bird Side levels and pigs in Pork Side stages.

Angry Birds Star Wars II has a number of achievements. Finish these objectives and you'll unlock rewards like tokens (for the shop); special stages; and packs of bird and pig tokens.

You can see these achievements by clicking on the 'medallion' icon. Remember that there are separate achievement lists for each chapter. Try to get the lot.

With, Rovio has followed in the footsteps of the creators of Skylanders and Disney Infinity by letting you turn real-world toys into in-game characters.They're called Telepods, and they're pretty cool. With these Telepods, you get immediate and unlimited access to your favourite characters. And, yes, it's a joy to grab your Chewie figure to help out on a tricky level.To help you figure out how these things work and help you get your favourite Star Wars hero in Telepod form, here's a Pocket Gamer Explainer.What are Telepods?Telepods are physical Angry Birds Star Wars toys. You can transport the character in question into Angry Birds Star Wars II on iOS and Android devices.How do I use them?Load up an Angry Birds Star Wars II level and press the 'Telepods' button (it looks like a big 'T'). Then, slot your toy of choice onto a Telepods base - there's a stump on the base and a slot on the toy's rump to make them snap together.Finally, place the toy and base onto your device's front-facing camera. Make sure the lump on the base lines up with the white shape that's displayed on your screen.If you do it right, the bird or pig of choice will appear in the game and replace the character who is currently on the slingshot. Remember that you can only use that character once per level, and you can only use birds in Bird Side levels (and vice versa).Sounds cool.

How do they work?Each figure has a teeny tiny QR code on the bottom. The Telepods base acts like a microscope and allows your device's front-facing camera to scan the code.

Pretty sneaky, sis.Do I need to buy the toys to have this functionality?No. You can buy access to every character from inside the game. They're a bit expensive, though, and the necessary currency runs out quick. So, yep, you may have to spend real money with in-app purchases to get access to all your favourite Star Wars heroes.And, boy, is it cheaper to play with Telepods. It would cost about £6 to have unlimited access to Anakin Episode III with the physical toy, and about £22 to buy infinite access to the Vader-to-be through IAPs. Yowch!Do the Telepods work with the original?Nope. You'll need the new game to play with Telepods.How much do the figures cost?Well.

You can't buy characters separately, so that complicates matters. You can buy figures in a 2 pack, which cost £5.99 / $6.99 a go. But some figures are exclusive to the much more expensive playsets.Sigh.
